Meme since ssd prices are low.

Meme.

Meme. You're taking the cons of both technologies (mechanical drive prone to vibration failure + higher price) for little benefit.

how do those even work? does it show up as two disks or does it randomly put something on the ssd or hdd part of it

Not bad, just useless. An option that's not as good as the others.

This, just use primarily an SSD and then an HDD for other stuff.
You can mount and unmount the HDD only when you need it to minimise noise and vibration.

A normal HDD with a 512MB NAND chip instead of 64MB DDR3 chip.
Might have been a good idea 10 years ago, but nowadays SSDs are so cheap and big HDDs don't use this technology.

cache was waay too small

A fucking meme. We currently uses that on our company but I can't tell the difference. It some instances, read-write is just too awful. Boot up speed didn't changed much and is more prone to corruption, though this case they are issuing us Seagates.

How about you use SSDs for local storage and HDDs for your file server?

fantastic idea, horrible implementation.

the problem is you need a fairly large cache to make the thing worth a damn, even 32gb is cutting it short, you want around 120 or so.

look into tiered storage, the shit works good enough that it can effectively make a full 8tb hdd feel like a ssd by caching only the shit that benefits from caching while relying on the hdd for un segmented large files, it will largely match an ssd over time, but can require a few boots/program starts to really tell what needs to be where

amds tired thing they give you for cpus and threads ripper is mediocre as it combines everything into one drive rather then mirroring and cache. the best part is you can set some ram to be cache, an nvme to be cache, an ssd, and a hdd, all of varying size, the the hdd and ssd are paired exclusively, the nvme has a portion and the ram has a portion, this would let the shit that benefits from the speed go to the fastest while everything that doesn't, runs off something slower, while the point of it is ending the need to wonder what needs to go where, you just put in 1 large hdd and put that on top.

its kind of sad they never got it to work well with hdds, could have been a big boon to them.

Good when you don't have money for an SSD or it provides minuscule returns, like with PS3/PS4.

They have neither the speed of real SSD's nor the cheap price per TB of HDD's so whats their point?

Being way faster than an hdd and close to an ssd while offering more storage than the former

Doesn't answer the question, which was, what use it has espeacially since SSD prices are way lower then last year.
What does "faster" do you good if you are just looking for as much storage as possible?
Why not have all the speed possible if you are looking for a fast and responsive storage device?
as pointed out, the cache of SSHDS is key to their performance, but at 120GB of cache you are better off just gettig a SSD instead.

SSD's true purpose is latency. Does SSHD offer better latency?

I'm looking for something that does both

SSD's in M.2 format are the best choice right now. Small profile, no seek time, fast transfers and most importantly NO FUCKING SATA AND POWER CABLES.

just get a yoftware solution then either intels optane technology ore storMI or what have you.
Thing is this way you can expand your main storage and have a really fast ssd as cache (nvme-ssd required for rally high speeds) at the same time.

>I'm looking for something that does both
Get a couple of 1TB SSDs

Been good for me so far, I have three of them in three different systems, and it's been a huge improvement in boot times.

too expensive

Okay. They'd be inferior to just getting a plain SSD+HDD in every way, except for the fact that Windows and OS X have crap SSD caching support. On Linux you can just use ZFS.

The downsides to these are:
>OS has less control over what gets cached
>Fails as one unit
>SATA instead of NVMe

Are you poor?

Worst of both worlds. Go for a bigger SSD or SSD + HDD.

meme

meme for storage. only benefits stuff that you use mostly i.e. gaymes and dolphin porn.

just do tier caching if you want to cheap out on drives

No, but I want the best value for money

Get a 2TB HDD

Get a 2TB SSHD

Lol no.
Even 7200rpm drives are way too slow compared to SSHDs and crawling compared to SSDs

Get a 2TB SSD

when i bought my SSHD the SSD Prices were still rather high. i personally have no idea how it works but i'll probably end up getting another in a few months because this one is only 1TB.

Mostly a meme. It's not a proper replacement for tiered storage and the flash is usually so abysmally low that you might as well invest in more RAM for more disk cache. That way, you'll get pretty much the same effect.

I heard they don't last as long as individual ssds and hdds

Get a 2TB magnetic tape

Get ~1.5 million floppy disks
